Hi everyone,
My family and I adopted a puppy two months ago. He’s four months old now and he’s still biting constantly—if anything, it’s actually getting worse. I think it’s just play biting, but it’s becoming a habit for him and it’s getting more and more painful for us. I don’t really understand why, as we’ve set boundaries and tried to redirect the nipping right from the start.
He has access to the garden during the day and goes for a long walk about three to five times a week. He meets other dogs and people, and we spend time with him in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening, as he’s left alone for three to four hours in the morning and the same again in the afternoon. Maybe the fact that he’s on his own a bit too much is making the biting more intense.
I’ve no idea what could be causing this, so I’d really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance!
